A member asked:
How can i get my 2 year old to have bowel movements more easily (she is potty trained already)? she sits on the potty for 20-30 minutes sometimes.

Only if it bothers: her. Unless your child is having pain when trying to have bowel movements or has hard stools, it's probably not anything to worry about. You will want to make sure she is getting plenty of fluids and a diet that has fruits and veggies and not much processed food. You can try prunes. Should discuss with your child's pediatrician.
